Learning Push-ups

Recently, I've been introducing my body to new levels of pain. I signed up for capoeira classes and have been telling everyone about this new discovery. Capoeira is a Brazilian art form that blends martial arts, acrobatics, music and dance. Whee! Of course, some moments are more fun than others; I'm still getting used to doing push-ups and counting in Portuguese at the same time. In fact, I'm still getting used to doing push-ups at all. As my running buddy is back in town and I can't give up the yoga classes, my exercise schedule has gotten quite full. With any luck, I'll be able to do those push-ups without cheating in a month or two. Very strange - when did my life become about doing push-ups? This may be a reaction to much of my life being dominated by cerebral activities; it's nice to experience things bodily these days...
